AN APPARATUS AND METHODS THEREOF FOR EFFICIENT READING AND FEEDBACK OF TEXTUAL DIGITAL CONTENT

摘要

Textual digital content is provided today for reading on electronic readers (e-readers or e Books), personal computers, tablet computers, smartphones and the likes. Users of such devices need to be able to increase their reading speed to consume the vast amount of textual content provided. The apparatus and methods thereof address this by determining the reading profile of the user of the apparatus and thereafter presenting a cursor with respect of the textual content that moves at a speed that is above the determined reading speed of the user. The speed of the cursor is adjusted based on the profile throughout the reading period, as well as an adjustment of the profile over time to better follow the user's actual reading capabilities whether increasing or decreasing. Respective of this information and actual progress of reading the apparatus and methods enable automatic changing of pages as reading progresses as well as providing time estimations respective of completion of the reading of a page, a chapter and the remaining textual digital content. In one embodiment the ability to predict future reading speed allows for accurate page changes.
